| You can lie to yourself, you can lie to the world
|
| You can lie to the one you call your girl
|
| You can humble yourself to the hearts that you stole
|
| Wondering who’s gonna love you when you grow old?
|
| With a fistful of courage and a heart full of rage
|
| I realized I’d locked myself in a cage
|
| I’ll be the one standing there with the watery eyes
|
| I’ll be the fool in the mirror asking you whyasking why
|
| When I got to the end of my dirty rainbow
|
| And I found that there was no pot of gold
|
| Well, I learned that I was empty and not quite as strong
|
| For I had robbed my heart and cheated my soul
|
| Look for the one with the watery eyes
|
| I’ll be the fool in the mirror asking you why
|
| Cursing lovers in a warm tender embrace
|
| Scoffing at the world and the whole human race
|
| Chorus:
|
| You can run, you can hide
|
| You can feed your foolish pride
|
| You can use and abuse
|
| In the end you’ll always loseat the game
|
| Chorus:
|
| You can run, you can hide
|
| You can feed your foolish pride
|
| With the hearts that you stole
|
| And an empty pot of gold
|
| And the lover’s warm embrace
|
| And the whole damned human race
|
| You can use and abuse
|
| In the end you’ll always loseat the game
|
| «for I cheated myself at solitaire.» |
